The Ten Little Piggies

 

There are parts of our body, that aren’t real cute
Reach down real low, and pull off your boot
 
I’ll try to be delicate...
and a little discrete
I’m talking 'bout those fat things hanging off of your feet!
 
Toes are so silly and not too attractive
But they serve their purpose and help keep us active
 
It doesn’t help a smidgeon when we paint our nails red
Because, if you don’t trim them...your hose they will shred
 
We play "little piggy" to keep them all happy
A silly old game taught to us by our pappy
 
But if we didn’t have them, we’d fall down in defeat
For they help keep us upright and our shoes on our feet!
